Can you get "payment histories" on paper from a company you do business with, to show how you paid your bills?

Question

Like something straight from the company??

Answer 1

Usually, yes. In most states, most companies are required to make available any records pertaining to your account upon request, including payment histories. They may or may not charge a "handling fee". Also, citing "security reasons" many companies may not accept such requests over the phone or through email, so you may have to send them a postal-mailed written request with the specific information and date ranges you need. If it's important, you should send the request with a signature-required delivery confirmation, so you can document that the request was sent. That will help if the company ignores your requests.

Answer 2

Yes, there may be a fee but it is possible to get a printout of your account history. But it depends on how far back you are trying to go and if it is an account that isn't too old or has been paid off a long while.

Answer 4

You don't need to, because you make a scan and a photocopy of the checks/Direct deposits they give you.
